Damn, I'm so mad at the Mariners right now. Their job is to beat the Angels and they didn't come through. I don't really want to see the Yankees play the Angels in the Division Series when they capture the wildcard spot. Like I said before, I'd rather see the Mariners win the division and have the Angels fall completely out of the race. We've got a month to go, so maybe that can still happen.

Then of course, when it comes to Yanks/BoSox, a victory over the Sox is always sweet. Especially at The Stadium.

As for the Moose situation, Joe Torre really had no choice. This reminds me of when David Cone had that 4-14 year with the Yanks back in 2000. Hey, at least Moose had a decent first half of the season. They'll probably send him to the bullpen.

If he hadn't gotten hurt, it wouldn't even be close you know. He would have been the NL MVP for sure.

in the running, yes... for sure? not quite...

as it stands right now matt holliday should probably be the NL MVP, but there are a number of candidates, including howard, pujols, reyes, ramirez and fielder... but it'll probably come down to holliday, utley and david wright.

and maybe the yankees won't make the playoffs, which is more likely than the angels falling completely out of the playoffs.

I think the focus is more on the wildcard although the division would be nice. The Yanks' poor first half and the BoSox' great first half has made the wildcard the Yanks' realistic chance for the postseason. What sucks though is that if the Angels win the AL West, (a strong possibility) the Yanks would have to face the Angels in the LDS.
